Bruno
After months of people watching their backs for the next prank from Borat's Sacha Baron Cohen, the actor has finally confirmed his next two starring roles. As expected, his other character Bruno will get his own film.
Sacha Baron Cohen's Next
Though I don't know why Cohen would want to give this away, he has announced that his character Bruno will be next to receive a feature film. As Bruno, Cohen plays a gay fashion reporter from Austria that creates havoc on the industry. The character was first admitted to all the big fashion events but, once the industry caught on to the prank, people quickly learned to watch out for him.
After Bruno Cohen will follow with Dinner for Schmucks, a DreamWorks remake of the French comic hit Le Diner de Cons. Jay Roach, who produced Borat, will direct Schmucks.
Both he and Baron Cohen will have to get past their fall projects and leave DreamWorks enough time to shoot Schmucks before next June.
The French film focused on a weekly dinner party held by a Paris publisher who challenges his friends to bring the most pathetic guest to the gathering. Cohen will play a character blessed with such extraordinary schmuckiness that he can destroy the personal life of anyone with whom he comes in contact.
Sacha Baron Cohen can next be seen in Sweeney Todd, where he will play rival to Johnny Depp.
